WING TEKS Countersunk Rib Head Phillips Drive Screws
From: $11.95$11.95
Application: For fixing timber and composite boards to steel. 18 TPI.
Description
For fixing… Timber and Composite Boards to Metal.
Specially designed to enable the fastener to fix timber to metal without the timber rising to the top of the screw while the metal is being drilled. Features a flat head with reaming cutters in the underside to enable the head of the fastener to self-embed for a flush or recessed finish. The new, simplified Buidex Wing Teks range now have a new wing design,making them even quicker and easier to install.
They are available in our exclusive Climacoat© 3 finish, providing greater protection in treated timbers.
How the Wing-Teks© Work
A. The drill point drills the timber, as the wings counter bore the hole larger than the thread diameter. With the hole being larger the thread will not engage into the timber.
B. After the Teks© point drills through the metal, the wings break off on contact with the metal.
C. The thread cutting feature on the shank cuts a mating thread in the metal and the thread continues to engage. The head then clamps this material firmly together.
How To Use
1. Measure the thickness of materials to be fastened including the air gap
Measure the thickness of materials to be fastened including the air gap:
